When a famous artist or athlete commits abuse, why do we often ask first about their career, not the victim?
I spoke with WMN about the evergreen dilemma: can — or should — we separate the abuser from their art?

Hősök a színpadon, bántalmazók az életben – Miért rajongunk értük mégis?

Ha egy hírességről kiderül, hogy bántalmazó, miért nem akarjuk elhinni? A válasz a sztereotípiákban és a rajongásban rejlik.

My term as @polpsyispp.bsky.social ECC Chair has come to an end. It’s been a great experience and honor to serve, especially alongside this fantastic group.

Here’s a (not-so-great but very real) photo from our ECC dinner — full of good conversations and laughter.

Thank you all for this year! 💙

Many academics advocate for equity & inclusion in publishing, yet progress is slow. Why does the gap between intent & action persist?

Join our expert panel to explore the challenges & solutions to dismantling racism & global exclusion in academic publishing.

Every time we discuss these topics, I walk away with new insights. Let’s keep organizing events like this and spreading the message that research shouldn’t be exclusively WEIRD!

ISPP @polpsyispp.bsky.social · May 6

Discussions on inclusivity, representation, and researchers’ responsibility are more important than ever in today’s sociocultural context.

A heartfelt thank you to the 80+ participants and our amazing panelists for joining the roundtable and contributing to this vital conversation. 🙌🌐

Incel forum users arrive angry—and their language gets more extreme over time

A study of incel forum activity reveals high levels of anger and violent language, with users bringing these tendencies with them from elsewhere online.

Extremely disappointing & cowardly. The American Psychological Association is rescinding diversity requirements. Not due to any actual mandate from the federal government, but only because it may *someday* face pressure from the government www.nytimes.com/2025/03/27/h...

Under Pressure, Psychology Accreditation Board Suspends Diversity Standards

As the Trump administration threatens to strip accrediting bodies of their power, many are scrambling to purge diversity requirements.

We stand with Ukraine.

“We condemn the morally reprehensible position of the Hungarian Government, which is seeking to impose a ceasefire or 'peace' on Ukraine without practicable conditions or guarantees.“

Had such a great hands-on workshop on open science and data handling with Sarah Zahreddine organised by ISPP ECC @polpsyispp.bsky.social. It made me more confident with data, and showed how small, seemingly irrelevant things matter. The FAIR principles finally got real, practical meaning.
